K 87177 – Sealing Ring for K 87165

Written by

The sealing ring K 87177 is a durable and high-pressure-resistant gasket specifically designed for the block-ball cock K 87165 within the ZV40/48 fuel supply system. Its primary function is to provide a tight, long-lasting seal that prevents any leakage around the valve mechanism, even under pulsating fuel pressures and significant thermal changes. Manufactured from resilient, fuel-resistant materials, this sealing ring ensures stable valve performance, preserves system safety, and minimizes the risk of contamination or loss of pressure. By safeguarding the integrity of the fuel line, K 87177 plays an essential role in maintaining operational reliability and extending the service life of the valve assembly.

The sealing ring K 92030 is a precision gasket designed to ensure a leak-free and thermally stable interface between the engine thermometers and their mounting points on the Sulzer/Adriadiesel/Jugoturbina/Zgoda ZV40/48 diesel engine. Engineered to resist high temperatures, pressure fluctuations, and continuous vibration, this sealing ring prevents coolant, oil, or compressed air from escaping around temperature-measuring sensors. By maintaining accurate thermal readings and protecting the sensor seating surfaces from wear and corrosion, K 92030 contributes directly to reliable engine monitoring, stable operation, and early detection of abnormal thermal behavior in heavy-duty marine and power-plant applications.

The cover before the turbocharger, code P51213-03, serves as a protective enclosure that shields the turbocharger inlet from contaminants and mechanical damage. It ensures that only clean, filtered air reaches the compressor, safeguarding the turbocharger’s high-speed rotating components. Built to withstand harsh conditions, this cover is an important part of the engine’s intake system, supporting efficient turbocharging and engine durability.

The water washing system on the compressor side, code P51205-03, is a maintenance feature in the MAN L21/31 engine that enables the removal of dirt, salt, and oil build-up from turbocharger components. By injecting a controlled flow of water while the engine is running at partial load, it ensures optimal compressor efficiency, minimizes performance loss, and extends the service life of the turbocharger. This is especially valuable in marine and coastal operations where air contamination is high.
